Store Owner Rejects Political Pink

January 27, 2017

landscape-1485213352-pussyhat

 

ELIZABETH POE, owner of a yarn shop near Nashville, Tennessee, refused to sell the nauseatingly garish pink yarn used for Women’s March hats. She wrote in a Facebook post:

With the recent women’s march on Washington, I ask that you if you want yarn for any project for the women’s movement that you please shop for yarn elsewhere. The vulgarity, vile and evilness of this movement is absolutely despicable. That kind of behavior is unacceptable and is not welcomed at The Joy of Knitting. I will never need that kind of business to remain open. Two wrongs will never ever make it right.

As the owner of this business and a Christian, I have a duty to my customers and my community to promote values of mutual respect, love, compassion, understanding, and integrity. The women’s movement is counterproductive to unity of family, friends, community, and nation.

I do pray for these women. May the God work out His love in their hearts and continue to heal and unite Americans.

Yeah, Elizabeth! Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray!

 

Callista: Ambassadress to Holy See?

January 27, 2017

Callista 3

CALLISTA GINGRICH, wife of Newt, is reportedly in the running for the position of Ambassador to the Vatican. 

Why not? She claims to be Catholic and to be a “very spiritual person.”

She seems to be the perfect candidate for communication with the Occupied Holy See. The total impostor pope, author of the encyclical Amoris Laetitia, also known as the “Joy of Adultery,” will surely greet this unrepentant adulterer with great enthusiasm. That’s Amoris!

 

 

Planned Barrenhood

January 27, 2017

 

PLANNED PARENTHOOD, which is funded by the federal government, is based on lies. Publicly, at the official level, it proclaims to offer prenatal care. It does not provide prenatal care, something its employees openly admit in daily interactions, as this new video by Live Action shows.

 

Trump and “Family Planning”

January 27, 2017

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S restoration of the Mexico City Policy which forbids federal funding of foreign abortions is not cause for jubilation, writes Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey.

President Trump has been absolutely fearless in vowing to build a border wall and restoring the rule of law at the border between the United States of America and the United Mexican States, and his demand that so-called “sanctuary cities” simply obey Federal immigration law has been met with a firestorm of opposition from those cities’ self-righteous “mayors” who countenance law-breaking when it suits their ideological purposes of social engineering. Mayors such as Rahm Emanuel of the murder-infested city named Chicago, Illinois, and Warren Wilhelm/“Bill de Blasio” of the nation’s abortion capital, the City of New York, New York, have expressed defiance of the new president in order to persist in their violations of the rule of law.

However, Dr. Droleskey continues:

… President Donald John Trump’s restoration of the Mexico City Policy according to the terms included in then President George Walker Bush’s executive order of January 22, 2001, represents yet another needless concession that there are circumstances in which innocent preborn children may be put to death lawfully with funding provided by American taxpayer dollars.

Moreover, even though President Trump’s iteration of the Mexico City Policy extends to all Federal agencies and not just to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to forbid them from using American taxpayer dollars to promote surgical abortion as a means of “family planning,” “family planning” is itself odious to God, injurious to individuals, destructive to families and fatal to the welfare of nations. Most of our social problems are the direct result of the destruction of the stability of the family, the proliferation of unwed mothers and of children sent off to pre-school and after-school “care” programs, meaning that [they] grow up never having experienced the meaning of a stable family and thus of the true love and sense of security to be found therein. Indeed, many of Federal entitlement programs exist to provide taxpayer assistance to children who live in poverty as a result of the consequences of contraception and the unstable situations in which they live.

Here is the text of President Trump’s presidential memorandum restoring the Mexico City Policy, which extends the ban of American taxpayer dollars being provided to “family planning” agencies in foreign countries that use surgical abortion as a means of “family planning”: [cont.]

 

In Praise of Unmarried Women

THE unmarried woman has always been held in high reverence by the Catholic Church. No  institution in the history of the world has inspired more women to remain unmarried as virgins — and to sometimes even give up their lives rather than marry.

An interesting essay by Fr. Daniel A. Lord is available at Finer Femininity.

 

Christian Nation?

January 26, 2017

History_Speeches_1140_Truman_Inaugural_Address_still_624x352

Steadfast in our faith in the Almighty, we will advance toward a world where man’s freedom is secure.

To that end we will devote our strength, our resources, and our firmness of resolve. With God’s help, the future of mankind will be assured in a world of justice, harmony, and peace.

(Harry S. Truman, Inaugural Address, January 20, 1949.)

NO president of the United States has ever mentioned Jesus Christ in his inaugural address. That includes Donald Trump.

If you believe it is good enough for a president to include some generic reference to a Divine Creator in his address then this makes sense to you. But if you believe that Christ, being the True Redeemer of humanity, has rightful authority over all civil government — and can do as He wills with nations, then this state of affairs amounts to dangerous national apostasy.

At Christ or Chaos in 2010, Dr. Thomas A. Drolesky went through all of the inaugural addresses up to and including Obama and demonstrated how none of them were Christian statements. Read More »

 

Funding Infrastructure — with Less Debt

January 26, 2017

ELLEN BROWN, author of Web of Debt, proposes an economical way to finance Trump’s $1 trillion infrastructure plan.

If the Trump $1 trillion infrastructure plan were funded at 2% over 10 years, the interest tab would come to only $200 billion, nearly $1 trillion less than the $1.18 trillion expected by private equity investors. Not only could residents save $1 trillion over 10 years on tolls and fees, but they could save on taxes, since the interest would return to the government, which owned the bank. In effect, the loans would be nearly interest-free to the government.

 

Citizen Activists Foil Inauguration Plots!

January 25, 2017

 

THE main group of inauguration protestors was infiltrated by Project Veritas, a group of conservative activists, and the plans for extreme disruption were abandoned after they were reported in advance to the police. The Washington Post reports:

Law enforcement authorities said they think that the successful penetration of DisruptJ20, an umbrella organization for a number of groups that police said sought to wreak havoc at the inauguration, forced it to abandon plans to try to shut down Metro trains and block entrances into the District, according to two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the investigation.

Wow, this is awesome.

Project Veritas’s videos exposing DisruptJ20’s plans to chain Metro trains and release noxious gasses into the subway can be found here.

 

A Former “Nasty Girl”

January 24, 2017

PENELOPE writes:

I spent my 20s struggling with the morals of my traditional Catholic background and the overwhelming Jewish feminist influence of the world. It created a cognitive dissonance in my mind and a life of acting out as a ‘nasty’ woman, while simultaneously feeling bad. Although I had a Catholic upbringing, I still came from a dysfunctional and personality-disordered family with an emotionally absent father.

This background combined with the intense feminist influence in all realms had me looking for ‘hooking up’ to find a boyfriend and mate. I didn’t know how to actually date until I was 30 years old and spent enough time reading books to figure it out. The common culture of going to a bar and ‘hooking up’ was the culture that abounded.

Political Pink

January 24, 2017

Trump_Protests_98196

THE color pink — at least the bright shade that has been adopted by feminists and that unfortunately is so prevalent in mainstream children’s clothing today — has become politically symbolic.

It stands for Girl Power.

It stands, at least in the minds of some of us, for self-glorification.

It stands for socialism and the expansion of the State.

It’s a small thing, and admittedly it won’t change the world. But try to avoid this once happy and cheerful color in your daughter’s clothing. Pink, used to nauseating excess in last weekend’s Women’s March, is normally identified with femininity, at least in the West. (In Japan, it has a masculine association, symbolizing warriors fallen in battle.) It’s a clever trick because the last thing these agitators are protecting is femininity.

Pink has also come to be dominant in manufactured clothing for girls in recent decades. The more masculine women are encouraged to become, the more they adopt certain forms of outwardly extreme femininity.

Russophobia vs. Russophilia

January 24, 2017

PLENTY of Russophobia has been coming from the Democratic Party lately, but the answer is not Putin-worship.

I provide the following links as food for thought. I do not necessarily endorse all the content (nor all the views of the writers mentioned), but offer these links to encourage you to educate yourself on the issue and adopt a healthy skepticism toward those sectors of the Internet that idolize Putin and see him as a solution to the West’s decline.

Trump Defunds Foreign Abortions

January 24, 2017

FROM Lifesite News:

In his very first pro-life action, President Donald Trump signed an executive order today reinstating the “Mexico City Policy” banning government funding of foreign pro-abortion groups like the International Planned Parenthood Federation.

A cultural political football, the policy was first enacted by President Ronald Reagan in 1984 and was maintained by President George H.W. Bush until it was rescinded first by Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1993. Eight years later, President George W. Bush reinstated Mexico City and it was in effect until Barack Obama reversed it upon entering office in 2009.

The Mexico City Policy bans funding to organizations that perform abortions overseas or lobby for legalizing them in foreign nations. Read More »

Italian Archbishop Blasts Support for Migrants

January 23, 2017

IN A rare display of courage and common sense, an Italian Novus Ordo Archbishop, Monsignor Carlo Liberati, recently criticized the country’s unrestrained welcome to Muslim migrants:

“We help without delay those coming from outside and we forget many poor and old Italians who are eating from the trash. We need policies that take care of Italians first: our young people and the unemployed.

“I am a protester. If I were not a priest, I’d be out there demonstrating in the squares. What is the point of so many migrants that instead of thanking for the food we give them, they just throw it, spend hours with their cell phones and even organise riots?”

Liberati even accused the Catholic church of donating too much money to the recent migrants.

“He said: “Giving money to migrants wandering around town is not only wrong, but morally harmful because we encourage their behaviour and they get used to that, not mentioning the fact that we already feed them.”

DAN R. writes:

The “highlight” of the Women’s March was probably the Ashley Judd rendition of “I Am a Nasty Woman,” a spoken-word poem written by Nina Donovan, a 19-year old sociology major from Tennessee and a part-time worker at Dunkin’ Donuts. Reading the words of this poem, the amount of politically-correct clichés compacted into a relatively small space is almost mind-boggling. Worse has been the enthusiastic reception by liberal women, at least some of whom you’d think might have second thoughts upon reading it. Here for your reference is a link to the complete transcript [vulgar language warning], obviously destined to become a milepost in “great” feminist literature.

 

Slamming the Press

January 23, 2017

MANY of you have probably already read of Trump’s press secretary, Sean Spicer, responding Saturday to false reports regarding the inauguration. But if you have not actually seen Spicer’s press conference, I highly recommend it. It is great to see someone challenge public lies in this way. Read More »
